I really enjoyed the WF tour and thought Steve did a good job for being thrown into the situation more or less. The guitar sounds, extended songs and heaviness of his playing fit the mood of the songs some of which I enjoyed more in concert than on compact disc. But I understand how disappointed people were to see Stan go and missed his feel with the drums, backup vocals and altogether unique personal energy on stage regardless of how things existed backstage between them. cheers

Ha ha, nice observation and damn fine essay. Damn The Essays. There you go, title for the book you should/could/won't/? write on TP. Man, that is some good writing and interesting points! Most I've ever read on the GD in my life as they are not a band that interest me in the least, aside from the knowledge of how they shaped their live shows and improvisation on stage. If anything, that would've been to the good for the band and the fans had Tom shaped their owns shows influenced by the GD in this area, with the largely (?) untapped jamming potential of the Heartbreakers. Whom am I to say though, because people loved seeing them live regardless of their approach on stage, evidence of how potent those hit singles are and how deceptively easy they may seem to create from the outside. Though I'm sure, as noted with Wildflowers (the song) that sometimes they were easy and sometimes like Tom noted about the Waiting, he had to keep at it. As for comments on your comments, when I've the time; in the meantime I'm curious what anyone else, including the Same Old Drew make of your interesting and well considered points above. A lot of places to open up some interesting dialogue, we'll see. Regardless, it made for some nice reading. Thanks for sharing Shelter. cheers

Nice lookin' forward to reading them. cheers

For me Disc 5 highlights are: On the Street/Depot Street/I Can't Fight It (what a fun pop-rock song)/keepin me alive/turnin' point and Moon Pie. I can take or leave the country version of Damage You've Done. Disc 6 highlights are: mind made up/ways to be wicked/can't get her out/waiiin' for tonight/travelin/wooden heart/gift to man/get me high/come on down to my house and you come through. 16 songs, pretty darn good. Never cared for Gator on the Lawn when I learned it was a true story---poor doggy. Tom's lyrical misstep there. I do like Heartbreakers Beach Party and they did play it a couple times in '99 of which there is a good recording out there. Fun song. cheers

Interesting choice to include them. For me, the treasure is in discs 5 & 6, so many good songs gathered together. And it's funny how subjective music is, You Come Through is one of my favorite songs they ever did! cheers

That looks pretty good! cheers

I'm glad you had such a good time! Seems like you savored every moment of the live experience which is the best way to be, enjoying what was happening and being in the moment. Your description of Free Fallin' and reaction to it is I figure why they play the tune at all these shows, in fact, you sound like the reason they play at all, their ideal audience, someone who can appreciate both guitar-melting moments and tender thoughtful playing. Glad you got to see Mike Campbell in action and hope somehow the Dirty Knobs make it your way and you can see him bend strings up close in a small club. Either way, glad you got to go and your enthusiasm from the show really came through in your post, thanks for sharing. cheers

Nice photo Well, I hope you have a good time and enjoy Mike's guitar stylings while everyone else accompanies him.

Sorry that you went through whatever you experienced but I'm glad your life has improved since then. I hope it did anyway, I don't want to be presumptuous. As for your review, I think it was well written and your frisbee comment made me chuckle. I do like the album more than you but for a long time, it also represented a change and in some ways, a dulling of the TPATH experience for me album wise. I did however, enjoy a concert from this tour and do think it could be the best recorded in terms of sound quality record they did; the instruments perfectly blended together. But like you, this album was indeed a huge shift for TPATH, especially after the double-high of FMF and ITGWO. Glad you shared your take and perhaps someone else will chime in to you blowing the dust off this older topic. cheers

Ha ha, I had to pause here, man, I still remember hearing that blandness across the radio and everyone responding to it! And then it hogging the 2nd spot in concerts for yeeeeears! Ha ha ha. I've softened on it since then, probably just accepted it and I do find Steven not playing any cymbals very very interesting but I can really relate to your reaction, ha ha ha! cheers

That's a cute animal, thanks for posting that! What did you make of the Fleetwod Mac show? Was it worth it to get to see Mike play? Did you like the concert overall? Bittersweet hearing Free Fallin 'cause of Tom and not having gotten a chance to see the Heartbreakers or more of a celebration of his life and a powerful moment for you? ???

It's not often I come across this opinion. Another link you say? Why sure... https://www.mudcrutch.com/forum/index.php?/topic/14821-wildflowers-the-album-opinion/&tab=comments#comment-301077

If you've not seen the movie before I suggest skipping this clip and giving it a go. A very unique scene:

Hard Rock and garage rock with a bit of psychedelia.

I'm sorry to hear about your sister, I truly hope she is going to be all right and will say a prayer as well.

I think it could be the only show where every new season tops the previous one. Hopefully you'll share what you make of the whole thing when it's over. And yes, the Tom Petty song was quite the surprise at that moment. cheers

Good! It sounds like you've been through quite the ordeal but thank God you're back home. Here's to a healthy recovery. cheers

Nice.

I went over there and checked. Found this: Thank you for your interest in The Highway Companions Club! We are not accepting new members at this time. Current members can still log in and access the club and all of the content inside. And the log in page which I couldn't get past: https://www.tompetty.com/user/login?destination=forum/1946%3Fsort%3Ddesc%26order%3DTopic I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing was inaccessible though with the popularity of facebook/twitter and the current legal turmoils in the Petty camps. Maybe another member will let you know for sure though. cheers
